Post-Modern Painting Meets the Contemporary Collage
Friday through Sunday, May 30, 31, June 1, 2008
9:00 am–4:00 PM, Nybak Wing
with Robert Burridge

Combining acrylic paint with fine art collage materials, you will create and assemble many works of art in this ultra new, fearless workshop for artists. Think Matisse, Rauschenburg, Diebenkorn, Motherwell…and you! Using your own ragbag of cool stuff to glue and assemble, plus acrylic paint and your off-center imagination, expect to produce groundbreaking artwork.

The Art School fundamentals are covered, including mixed media, paint, construction, textured surfaces, assemblage, composition, photo transfers and color theory. Then, on paper or canvas, create a series of works based on your life experiences, personal themes and goals. Plus copyright materials, ethics and a few art marketing pointers are also covered.

Every morning there are daily handouts, a brief paint demo/lecture to inspire you. Throughout the day, Mr. Burridge will help you individually with personal critiques and motivational reasons why you became a painter in the first place. Plenty of time for play and experimentation. Come prepared to have an exhausting, exhilarating painter's experience.

Cost: $255 members, $275 nonmembers

The Rhythms of Stone
Thursday - Sunday, August 21, 22, 23, 24, 2008
10 - 4 PM in the Nybak Wing
with DJ Garrity

Beginners through Professionals welcome. All materials are supplied, including hand tools. Award winning sculptor, DJ Garrity offers a fascinating opportunity to explore the three-dimensional form in stone. This workshop’s objectives are concerned with establishing a basic understanding of the stone carving process, the three-dimensional aspects of portraiture and a further exploration of the esoteric values associated with this ancient art — the rhythm and flow of creative endeavor. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of experience and recommended for both individual exploration and professional development. A hands-on approach utilizes the human face as a template to guide students through the use of various hand tools, techniques and procedures related to the stone carving process. The workshops of DJ Garrity are accredited for professional development by Augustana College of South Dakota. As the Sculptor-In-Residence of Mount Rushmore National Monument, DJ Garrity is known as a sculptor, painter and journeyman along the margins of abstract expression. Most recently, he has been invited to participate in the 2007 International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Florence, Italy. Class size is limited to 12 students.

Painting Light and Landscape
Thursday thru Sunday, September 18 – 21, 2008
9 - 3 PM in the Nybak Wing
with Cynthia Britain

This workshop provides instruction in fundamentals of composition and design. Learn how to paint on location in the tradition of the early California Impressionist Painters. Cynthia will demonstrate how to capture the light and color of the outdoors, and how to see value to create atmosphere and light as it applies to plein air painting. Cynthia will provide lectures and demonstarations as well as guide the students’ works as they develop. Handouts are given including a painting self-critique session.
• Oil preferred, all mediums welcome
• Beginner to professional
• Instructor demonstrations and individual attention
• Individual critiques provided
• Portable easel and transportation needed
CYNTHIA BRITAIN is a contemporary plein air artist from Laguna Beach, California. Whether she is painting vistas in Crystal Cove, California’s wine country of France’s bucolic villages, Ms. Britain works with a quick brush stroke, using slow-drying oils. On finely textured linen canvases, she focuses on recording the quality of light with precision a camera can’t catch before a scene shifts. Like the French Impressionists who fled their studios in the 1860s to create works of art in the fleeting light, her intent is to document atmospheric mood. Typically, that’s accomplished in less than two hours — the brief window of time normally available before a different quality of light moves in. Ms. Britain is one of five signature members who co-founded the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association in 1996. Her work is represented in numberous California galleries. Her paintings have hung at The Laguna Art Museum, Orange County Museum of Art and San Diego Museum of Art. She has received dozens of awards and honors.

Conceptual Impression — mostly in the studio, but some outdoors
Monday through Friday, November 3 – 7, 2008
9:00 am–3:00 PM, Nybak Wing
with Ann Templeton

Ann's workshops are designed for the intermediate through advanced student who has some working knowledge of painting tools. Emphasis is stressed through daily lectures on color theory, design/composition, value in color, and atmosphere. Demonstrations, one-on-one critiques, and individual attention to the student's needs are big bonus when you take an Ann Templeton workshop. Classes are fun, as well as hard work.

Students are encouraged to work in the medium of their choice, though demonstrations are performed in oil. All subject matter will be explored — with a deliberate attempt to introduce and follow through with creative, individual ideas in art rather than an adherence to subject detail. Abstraction with transparent washes, alla-prima, indirect glazing and opaque controlled detail are explored.

Ann Templeton lives in New Mexico, but her workshops, jurying, lectures and demonstrations take her all over the world.

Cost: $475 members, $500 nonmembers

Life Drawing/Sculpture

Life drawing has moved from Monday evenings to Wednesdays, 6:30-9:30 PM This session will also now cater to those of you who wish to sculpt from the live model. There will be two poses during the session. If you wish to sculpt, you need to bring clay and supplies, a board support, and a plastic milk crate to raise up the board (or a sculpting stand). The model will be stationary on a high platform in the center of the room. You will be able to move around during the pose, in order to capture the three-dimensional aspect of the figure. Wednesday morning life drawing classes continue from 9:00 am–noon, in the Nybak Wing. For both, a model is provided, but no instruction. Bring your own art supplies. Tables and some easels are available.
